Fortarock festival: Devin Townsend Project gig (X10) - Photo Gallery Discussions on Fuji X Series Camera Forum - Fujifilm X-Pro1 X-E1 X100S X100 X20 X10 XF1 X-S1

Hi,

Last Saturday I went to Fortarock (metalfestival in Nijmegen, the Netherlands) and shot a series of the Devin Townsend Project with my X10 (that I could take with me without problems, cameras with changeable lenses were not allowed).
All images are shot at ISO 100, aperture priority, fully open. Normally when I shoot gigs with my X10 I (have to) use ISO 800 - 1600 but this was outdoors so I got nice (less noisy) files to work with. But the downside: I also got a couple of orbs...

The complete series can be seen at

Enjoy!

DigiDaan

Thanks!
Although the gig only was 50 minutes, they did play a Ziltoid-track (By Your Command).

is the concert during daytime? used flash? sorry, but cant seem to imagine how to get these shots at iso 100 without underexposing even at wide open aperture. some tips pls. newbie here.

Great works dude!

DigiDaan

@ emong14: Yes, it was during daytime (and outside, the other stage was in a tent where I took a couple of shots of the Swedish band Meshuggah and had to use ISO 800 there). No flash used.

Some really really nice photos! Seems like the band are a dream to photo as they look pretty extrovert... Never seen or heard them before.

Let's see some shots of Meshuggah! My other favorite band!

Edit: Just wanted to share a photo I took of Devin AND Ziltoid a couple of years ago :)

Wow, really impressive shots from that camera ... really goes to show how quality these Fuji products are. Great contrast in all the shots, I bet the band would even like those photos for promotional use!

DigiDaan

Thanks all!
@emilsall, the Meshuggah-pics I shot didn't turn out that great (tentstage, bad lighting, lots of fretboard-staring). But perhaps I will process one or two later.
And I didn't expect Ziltoid to wear those kind of sneaker-socks by the way...

This is simply f****ing great work. Congrats! Strong expression and composition. I still haven't shown pics or written here, but this is really inspiring, because I recently did some shots at a small gig of a singer songwriter in a club with little more than candle light. The situation was a big surprise and I had to completely change my plans how to work with my new X 10 that evening. I'll show some of those fotos soon and ask my questions to all of you about how to handle those situations. Again: GREAT PICTURES, DigiDaan!

@DigiDaan - dude, these are some of the best gig shots I've seen, regardless of what camera they were taken on. Fantastic. Great Work! (and what a bloody good camera we own!!!)
